Microsoft Office for Windows includes a database application called Access. This is missing from the Apple version of Office. Back in my old PC days I used Access to maintain a simple database to keep track of architecture in different countries. Is there a similar application for OS X (I'm on Tiger)? It needn't be compatible with the Access format. Please, not Filemaker: it's very expensive and it's overkill for my purposes.
